You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop.

The table which we'll populate with data.

The folder above also contains a CSV file listing the top 20 UK built-up areas by

Run your package a couple of times to check that it gives you the top 20
built-up areas in the UK (as of the 2011 census):
